Spandex do a self adhesive plotting paper in rolls.

[Lorraine Clinch]

Cheers Nick, I’ll give them a ring now.

Hi Lorraine,

Xpres sell self adhesive ‘paper based’ vinyl sheets in either A3 or A4. Not sure whether this is any good to you?

Hi Nick, phoned Spandex, was told they don’t do this, then found it on their web-site.

Tried Avery, can’t get through,

Phill, I will try Xpres now…..

Thanks all

[Nick Minall]

Well its listed in my spandex book! What about trying the PaperCo.

[Lorraine Clinch]

Paper Co. not much help, have emailed the contact in London.

Xpres sending a sample.

Still no joy with Spandex or Avery.
Thanks for your help.

you can buy sheets of labels in various sizes from staples, i think they also do a A4 size.

do they have to be a certain shape/contour?

Grafityp do adhesive paper in rolls got some a month or so back
pretty thick and synthetic looking pretty cheap too Supposed to be good for digital printing but it does come off with scraping though I haven’t tried any other profile on it yet.

I need to quote on 1 inch purple circles, and 1 inch white circles with purple logo.

This apparently will be a large regular order-just what I could do with at the moment!

I dont have an optical eye on the CX24, so was hoping to do the print & cut through the PC60, don’t know if you can do thermal printing on to paper though?

[Nick Minall]

Just get some cheap vinyl and do it that way is probably the best way to go.

I still don’t know, if it is OK to use the PC60 to print on to paper- wouldn’t try it without confirmation, as I would not want to ruin the head.

Just to satisfy my curiosity now 😕

[Stephen Morriss]

The Alps printers use the same type of head and they can print onto paper, not saying yours definitely can but it can be done.

Seem to remember that the drop size on a thermal head is better than a laser printer so that’s why they were used for photo printing.

I don’t have a PC60 but I would guess not. you can get Banner Therm for the Edge, but you use it without a foil and only comes out black, i have not tried it.

lorraine you can print onto paper with the pc60…but you use the wax ribbons instead of the resin ones 😀

surley it would only be worth it if the quantity was small.

any half decent order it would be un economical to use the pc60, you`d be far better off subing it out.
